United States | Rolling Stone | "The best thriller of summer (...) The gripping, seat- clutching suspense in this baby will pin you to your seat. (...) keeps you riveted by just watching two people on a plane. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" | POS |

United States | Miami Herald | "An immensely dumb, immensely fun thriller" | POS |
